Shorten commits $5M investment assault on LNP stronghold

STEPPING straight off the big, red bus and onto the sand of Moffat Beach, leader of the Labor party Bill Shorten had more on is mind than a swim, with a announcement of $5 million funding for the international internet submarine fibre cable link to the Sunshine Coast.

Speaking exclusively with The Daily by the shores of his wife's childhood beach, Mr Shorten lapped up the sunshine and warm weather after promising the multi-million dollar investment to deliver 864 new jobs and stimulate $927 million of new investments.
